Scope for Ruger single six hunter 22 revolver

Please suggest which scopes for target/plinking up to 100 yards using my 22Hunter revolver which has a 7.5" barrel. THE revolver comes with scope rings for 1" diameter scopes.
Any of your suggestion welcome ;)) If you attach pictures would be even nicer ;)

I have played with various scopes on handguns for over 50 years. For what you describe I prefer a red dot. I must say I once had a Ruger Single Six I used with the .22 mag. Cyl that I topped with a 12x Leupold with target knobs to killed a bunch of groundhogs with . I figured dead hog to 150 yds., mostl shot off a rest of one type or another. Shoot groups from individual cylinders, you might find one very accurate you save for long shots or one that is not accurate you use only for tin cans. Have fun.

Thanks for sharing JEFFPPC as I have not tried a scope yet I really love to see how the groupings improved and my eyes are not as good as my younger years now as well...of course I will be shooting on a rest. The HUNTER will he too HEAVY to shoot free handed..
 
Handcycle, The most fun I have had with handguns was a 10 in Contender with 32 h&R barrel. Usually shot 3 shot groups at 1 in. at 100 yds negligble recoil.Use to do pigeon control for a large farm, they would explode when hit with an 85 or 90 gr hollowpoint.
